    Air 3 Dunottar Castle, Stonehaven, Scotland

    "so I made good use of the time..." Did you ever! Thoroughly professional job in all respects. You should be proud. Your AIR3 might be a little easier to see than my Mini 3 Pro, but it's still gotta be pretty darn tiny, way out there over the ocean.

    Air 3 Dunottar Castle, Stonehaven, Scotland

    Amazing. Just superb. This from a guy who shot helicopter aerials for the movies for nearly two decades. I can't imagine the anxiety provoked by that tiny little aircraft of yours, venturing waaaaaaaay out over the ocean. I freak out when mine is a few hundred feet away over dry land. :)...

    Brand New AF Issues

    Actually, DJI just replaced the whole aircraft. That's the good news. In fact they replaced it the same day they received my old one. The only bad news is that I had to go through all the firmware updating and re-binding the new aircraft to my existing RC unit. DJI was extraordinarily...

    Brand New AF Issues

    Gotta love it. The drone is two years old. Also, DJI paid for two-way shipping right across Canada. They replaced the GPS & IMU Module. Why that affected AF performance is a mystery.

    Mini 3 Yesnaby Castle, Orkney - to be featured on UK National TV this weekend...

    Superb! Congrats. Imagine the cost of shooting that footage in the pre-drone days!

    Prediction: AI hardware will be used in a future DJI drone in 2024

    I'm a retired Hollywood cinematographer who's addicted to and fascinated by the image-making branch of AI. Software packages I use include InvokeIA, Fooocus and ComfyUI. Stable Diffusion's "Text to Image" and "Image to Image" are the two main techniques I work with. Text to image lets me...

    Brand New AF Issues

    UPDATE DJI support said "send it in for repair" and emailed me a shipping label. Soon after that, full AF function returned and the camera system continues to work perfectly. I think the aircraft decided that it didn't want to get shipped across Canada . Who knows what happened? All I...

    Brand New AF Issues

    Still can't get AF to work. Communicating with DJI, who say "send us some pictures", so I did.

    Brand New AF Issues

    No zoom invoked. Will test your other excellent suggestions. I think same in photo mode as video mode.

    Brand New AF Issues

    AF worked fine until re-start from a months long hibernation. AF now seems borked. Pix are WAY out of focus. With a blurry image, if I tap on AF button, the focus changes to sharp and then immediately reverts to blurry. If I long press on AF, I get the MF scale, and I can get it to focus...

    DJI MINI 3 PRO panorama

    As I posted elsewhere, Adobe Bridge stitches native DJI DNGs into a DNG pano.

    Panorama Issues with Mini 3 :(

    Adobe Bridge (included in the basic "Photography" plan) stitches my Mini 3 Pro's DNGs perfectly. Creates a DNG stitch, too.

    Looking for control sticks that can be picked up by a magnet

    Since losing one from my Mini 2 in the snow (!) I screwed the new Mini 3 ones into the controller nice and tight and haven't removed them since. I accommodated their presence in my bag with a block of packing foam that protects them from damage.
